Mindfulness of Breathing – Journey 1 Week 11
My mind still feels a bit dazed but concentration is improving albeit very slowly. There doesn’t seem to be any power to it at the moment though, as thoughts are still carrying my mind away very easily.
I’m back to counting breaths again to help pull my focus away from all the thoughts, and it seems to be helping but it feels like there’s a long way to go to get back to where I was.
I’ve been tired a lot this week, and this has increased the propensity of my mind to drift into daydreams during meditation. Maybe I just need more sleep at the moment.
I feel there has been a slight shift away from the external world and back towards the search for inner peace. I’m missing the relative mental calmness I was cultivating a few weeks ago. It’s like I want to get back on the right path but I’m thrashing around in the undergrowth next to it.
I need to rebuild my mental strength and become stronger than the thoughts again. There’s the plan for the next week!
